Bluesky starter pack for #infolit and a guide

Firstly there's a Bluesky Starter pack focused on information literacy and information skills for students and citizens from Paul Jewell (that's a list Paul's created of "librarians, educators, researchers, students and community members" interested in #infolit and with Bluesky accounts. I was going to start a pack with this focus, but I think it's better to create suggestions for this exisiting one! Go to  https://bsky.app/starter-pack/pauljewell.bsky.social/3lbb7unb54o2h
Secondly, Ned Potter has an extended blogpost with advice for academic libraries using Bluesky. Go here https://www.ned-potter.com/blog/bluesky-for-academic-libraries One thing I noticed was that he recommends not posting first thing in the morning (UK time), whereas I found that something like 9.30am was good for picking up attention from UK people on X/Twitter. I will be pondering this, as to pick up attention from those in North America a later time is useful anyway.
